U.K. police have arrested the former Prince Andrew, the brother of King Charles, on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was previously sued in 2021 by Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of multiple instances of sexual assault when she was underage. The lawsuit was settled out of court shortly after it was filed, but Mountbatten-Windsor was allowed to keep his royal title and privileges at the time. Those were recently stripped following revelations about the extent of his friendship with the American serial sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Their friendship has been widely known to the public since at least 2008, when Epstein was first convicted for soliciting a minor for sex.
British authorities are now reportedly investigating whether Mountbatten-Windsor shared confidential government information with Epstein in 2010 while serving as a U.K. trade representative. "This is a story about sex trafficking, about the abuse of numerous women, and it seems like where justice might be brought, it's on a different charge, which is sharing confidential information with a powerful person," says Novara Media's Michael Walker.

Tributes are pouring in from across the globe for Reverend Jesse Jackson, who died on Tuesday. The civil rights icon and two-time presidential candidate was 84 years old. Democracy Now!'s Juan González recounts his experience as a reporter visiting Cuba and Puerto Rico alongside Jackson. "Jesse was always there when people were fighting for some form of social justice," says González. "Of all the U.S. leaders of the past half-century, I believe none had a more international view and a commitment to worldwide social justice as Jesse Jackson did."
Bishop William Barber, president and senior lecturer of Repairers of the Breach, met Jackson 40 years ago as a student when he asked to work with Jackson's student campaign during his 1984 presidential run. Jackson "was somebody that was serious about people uniting to save humanity — PUSHing — that he was serious about an agenda of uplift," says Barber.

In a surprise victory, progressive candidate Analilia Mejía won the Democratic primary to fill the House seat left vacant by New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill. Mejía served as 2020 national political director for Bernie Sanders and as deputy director of the Labor Department's Women's Bureau under President Joe Biden. As a proponent of community organizing, she has pledged to refuse corporate PAC and AIPAC dollars. "It is training each other, engaging each other, understanding our history, so that we can protect our democratic institutions and we could preserve the kind of self-governance that we strive for in the United States," Mejía says.
Mejía won 29.3% of the vote against former Congressmember Tom Malinowski, who placed second with 27.6% of the vote. Although Mejía was the only candidate to say Israel is committing a genocide, Malinowski — who is pro-Israel but supportive of limits on aid to Israel — was the target of AIPAC ads that may have led to Mejía's victory.

The Trump administration has fired Consumer Financial Protection Bureau program manager Alexis Goldstein for documenting a meeting a year ago between the agency and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. "I have been on admin leave ever since, until I was fired last week," says Goldstein, who says the Trump administration's gutting of the CFPB removed key oversight of the financial industry. "So, essentially, no one is watching the biggest banks."
Goldstein is now running to represent Maryland's 6th Congressional District.

We speak with Aliya Rahman, a U.S. citizen who was violently dragged from her car by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis last month and detained at the Whipple Federal Building, which has become the epicenter of the government's immigration crackdown in the city. Rahman says she repeatedly told agents she was disabled and had a brain injury, but they ignored her pleas for medical attention or other accommodation. "I was taken out of that place unconscious," says Rahman, who describes lasting injuries and trauma from her detention. Rahman was not charged with any crime. "What I saw in that detention center was truly horrific."
We also speak with attorney Alexa Van Brunt, director of the Illinois office of the MacArthur Justice Center, who says victims of ICE violence like Rahman can sue the federal government for violating their rights, "but they cannot sue the officers in their individual capacity."
